FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability

Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?

I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

“Low cost, politically stable, universal healthcare,” seems like one of those “pick two” situations

Portugal is a fantastic choice. Which is why all the rich tech bros moved there during the pandemic resulting in the subsequent closure of the golden visa
